I think I'm going to ask the forbidden question... was there ever Halo for the DS?
FO: I believe we got pitched for it several times.
BG: Every once in awhile it comes up. Somebody out there some developer pitches and tries to make it happen.
FO: Microsoft does publish DSgames or licenses them, I think to THQ.
BG: It's very likely that somebody at some point in time created a prototype and tried to pitch it.
FO: Which is probably what Casamassina is talking about.
BG: But there has never been an officially funded or sanctioned development of any sort of DS Halo game.
So no it most likely not going to happen. There is more if you want to read it.
Would you ever like to see that [Halo on the DS]?
FO: I mean if it wasn't a drain on resources. The problem is the DS is not an FPS console right? It's not an FPS handheld. There really is no such thing. If we did something cool I would like to see it. But I would rather see the Halo IP on any handheldsystem applied to a different genre because handhelds don't necessarily do FPS well.
BG: Right we've already got that covered.
FO: Maybe a side scrolling shoot em up or whatever, but not necessarily an FPS.
I do not agree with that I think FPS are great on the DS. Thou I hate to do this since I am tired of this Halo DS junk there is more to the interview.
Would you ever rule out seeing Halo on a portable platform?
FO: We would never rule it out, but there is nothing going on right now.
BG: You should have asked Peter Moore that question, he's the guy!
No I do not know who this Peter Moore guy is so go look it up your self. I am not trying to bring back the Halo DS stuff I am trying to get rid of it. Sorry about the big type but I did not want what I said mixed with the interview. Feel free to post your thoughts.
